Frank Smith gave you the right reading on this and what should go into your .amandahosts file. You already have this line: linux2.igorsputerfarm.local Without a user name in the second column, Amanda will default to who it is running as. If you set up inetd/xinetd to run it as "amanda", this should work. And I *think* (but don't recall exactly when it went into the code) that case does not matter, i.e. "linux2" and "Linux2" should match. But that might be another thing to try since you didn't say what version of Amanda you're using. However ... >Here is the /var/lib/amanda/.amandahost file. ... Is /var/lib/amanda the home directory for user "amanda"? Who owns the .amandahosts file and what are the modes? It should be owned by "amanda" and mode 0600 (or 0400). Does "amanda" have access to the file through the parent directories? Can you do this: # su - amanda -c "cat .amandahost" Finally, take a look at the corresponding /tmp/amanda/amandad*debug file on the client. It may have more diagnostic messages. >Igor John R.
